with spectator from end to end. Po
lice koep tho multitude In line, but
nothing can stifle tho cheering which
smother tho crush of tho band from
one end of tho avenue to the other. The
two presidents have little 1 1 mo for talk,
for the Incoming executive I kept busy

Tho party reaches the caplto! at

Prior to the urrlvul of tho party the

In arm, followed by tho whole ajsem
blage. They moke their way to the east
front of the capltol, where the groat
Inauguration platform ha been erected
on a level with tho drat flight or ntepo.
One thousand chnlro on tho platform
aro occupied by distinguished persons,
while the open Hpaco upon which the
stand fronts Is jammed by the multi
tude. Fifteen thousand people can
squeeze Into thl space, but If It held
ten time that number thnre would be
no gap. The law require tho presi

strued to mean the open air.

Washington, March 3. The president
yosterduy sent to the senate a roHHt
made ny Secretary Olnoy on tho reso
lution requesting tho correjondem.'
In the Ho ot Dr. Hlennio tittle.
The report Miggert the inadvlmbll
lty of supplying the correspondence at
thl time, which suggestlun tho pres
ident Indorsee, saying that It would
be Incompatible with the public Inter
Ml to do so pending tho public nod
exhaustive lnvetlgiitlon nbout to lie
Inntltiitod. Tho prmldent ndd Oio
siikroiMIoii "that tho consul, genoral
should have protcftolonnl nld In hiiuIi
InvcHtlgatlon, though tho mutter to
gether wKh tho selwtlon ot the par
ticular porsons to act with him proper
ly devolves it I mi my nuccr!or lr.
office."
Instead of transmitting the official
correspondence tho secretary supplies
an account of hiu own coniiOHHIon
covering tho essential facts In the oaae.
He says that HuU, a native of Cuba,
ramie ta this country during the revo
lution which terminated In 1878, and
studied dentistry In Philadelphia, de
claring hi Intention ot becoming n ci
tizen or the United States In 1877, ho
received hi final paper In 18S0.
After thl he returned to Cuba and
ha resided there since.
He aetall RuU' arrest on Fob. 4, of
which he says tho department wa Im
mediately Informed, but that nothing
more was heard in regard to the mat
ter until Fob. 17, when the nul gen
eral reported that Huht had been found
dead. He says the department had
assumed thut the caso wa being ut
tonded during this Interim and that a
demand would bn mndo that the pris
oner nhould bo put In communlcando.
but that It afterward developed Hint no
such demand hud Itccn mado and the
prisoner bad remained constantly In
Molltnry confinement. Tho circum
stance attending tho death were mich
m to tend to a demand for tin inves
tigation. After such personal examination uh
ho wns nble to make the secretary con
tinue: "The consul general ha re
ported to tho department thut Hull wa
placed mid kept for 13fi hour in a
small, closed and. tllitiy coll three feet
by live, having a rough atone floor
with no window nnd only a six-Inch
tqtiaro opening In the door for the ad
minion of rood, which aperture we
kopt clised except when UHcd; that no
one wa allowed to see him; that he
died from neglect or violence; that lit
became deranged; that an autopsy
show a 1 seven contusion on top or hi
head; that ho died from congestion ot
tho brain; that there wa no fracture
ot tho skull, but all knowledge wa
confined to official ami thut It wa
difficult to ascertain the foul,"
Ho says that on the other hand the
acting captain general of Cuba In a
report made to ills government on Feb.
23 state that Unix wa confined In a
room over eight feet by nine with a
largo window; that the room showed
no signs ot dampnrwi and that HuU
hud an eusy chair and a comfortable
bed. This official also reports that
ttulz wa found In hi room very much
oxclted, with u contusion on hi head
after a blow wa heard In hlo room. Ho
say tho prisoner wa then removed
to a better roam, thut on the 17th he
wa found by the attendant In tho act
of h'lttlng hi head against the gritting
ot tho door ami though quieted by the
attendant, shortly nftcnvnrd died.
Tho roneltislon of tho official reports
of the ;wo governments being thus red
Icnlly conflicting, tho secretary ny
another open and thorough liivestini
lion seemed to thl government Imlls
pensable and the SpanV.h government
concurred In this view.
The secretary enclose a copy of

to thl sequent. He wtys that Kills did
not make known his American elllren
ship when arrested, u elreamstnnfo
whlah he soya often occur and always
